Abstract

Under the development of globalization, more and more companies are expanding their business scope to all regions of the world. However, this has also exacerbated a series of labour rights problems including forced labour and fraud. This thesis analyses the reasons for the failure of some relevant laws and ideas for solving labour problems based on positive and negative cases. Firstly, the thesis introduces the origin of international labour law and describes the failure of international labour rights law in light of the current situation, and then further analyses the causes of its failure. Secondly, the thesis points out that the labour rights issue is a pluralistic legal issue based on the contradictions in the content of some labour protection systems and the failure of international labour law. In the next part of the paper, the first point is that the government should lower the threshold of labour rights, moreover, the legal department should increase the binding force of the law, then the society and the government should set up regulatory departments and supervise the enterprises to avoid labour rights problems. Finally, the thesis shows that nowadays trade between different countries or regions is becoming more and more frequent. The increase of labour rights problems seems inevitable, but after analysing the root causes of the problems, many countries and regions have made the right measures that other countries can learn from to develop.
